http://www.businessinsider.com/the-11-nations-of-the-united-states-2015-7 http://www.businessinsider.com/the-11-nations-of-the-united-... is a useful lens to consider in this matter. Similar analyses from other lens with largely similar results have been applied.
- quotemstr 9y ago"Better" is highly subjective. Many people, myself included, find many aspects of west coast culture cloying and suffocating. Your values are not everyone's values.
- rustybelt 9y agoI love the "American Nations" reference. I really enjoyed that book, though I don't remember it making any value judgements in regards to one region's culture being superior to another's. It mostly just presented a theory of why there is so much variation in regional cultures in the U.S. I guess what I'm saying is that I don't know what the hell you are talking about or understand how referencing that book proves the supposed superiority of west coast culture.
- mmirate 9y agoNo, that source highlights exactly why the horribly authoritarian tendencies of the West Coast and NYC make those cultures undesirable.
